PSALM 63 Divine thirst

Psalm 63:1  ESV
O God, you are my God; earnestly I seek you;
my soul thirsts for you;
my flesh faints for you,
as in a dry and weary land.
                IN THE WILDERNESS
The difficulties of daily life, especially in the hard times
may distract us from the spiritual life.
Meditating on Psalm 63 might help us to rediscover our
own longing for God. By grace we might make verse one
the prayer of our own heart, and in doing so, join the psalmist
in the presence of the living God.
                 DIVINE THIRST
The yearning expressed here includes a sense of need because we need love
and it is the power of love (God) which inspires our faith and our hope.
We can have quite a good intellectual understanding supporting our cerebral
faith, but if we don't have the love of Jesus in our hearts we are in a dry place,
a desert.
Anyone  who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him.
( what an empty desert )
You , however , are not of the flesh but of the Spirit,
in fact the Spirit of God dwells in you.
                                                               Romans 8:9  ESV
